Curtis Mayfield
People Get Ready
[Verse 1]
People get ready, there's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
[Verse 2]
People get ready for the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em
There's room for all among the loved the most
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances are thinner
'Cause there's no hiding place from the Kingdom's throne
[Verse 1]
So people get ready for the train a-coming
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket, you just, you just thank the Lord
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah, wooo!
Yeah
[Outro]
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
This time I'm ready
This time I'm ready
